The construction of a lake-level retaining dam created several lagoons and connected the lake with Cherry Creek. A popular rainbow trout lake with excellent spawning areas in the stream. At times, fly fishing is excellent in the lagoons and stream; rainbow trout up to 15 inches present. Very good camp sites; ample firewood and stock feed.
